Question My tv is only 4 years old. Turned on, the power light blinked 3 times and set turned off. Tried several times and then unplugged overnight. Same result. Is it the convergence or a power supply and what might this cost? It sucks cause I am so broke and about to have a baby! Thanks so much.
Answer Usually the blinking sequence would denote a certain fault but obviously I don't know it for this make and model, try checking on the manual.
Sounds like it will need repair but I wouldn't be able to tell what cost you could be looking for.
